Cool App, works well, great visualizations. However, have a recommendation. Would like to be able to re-sort the order of the listing. Would like to rearrange based on circular proximity of my home base airport. Otherwise, will have to delete and plan out the desired airports and add in specific order. Edit - Nevermind, developer responded super quick and advised that I just need to swipe left and the option to move up or down is there. Problem solved! Tha KS for super fast reply!!!

Thanks for your review! You can swipe any row in the airport list to the left and then press the up/down arrow to rearrange the items. Hope that works. Have fun!

Excellent app, I am using it to learn the METAR & TAF readouts to aid my studies. You can select multiple airports to monitor and the decoder is great for visualising the weather at each as well as showing wind against each runway. It's a very easy app to use, I've yet to find any bugs or issues and just reading the raw data METAR/TAF a few times a day has really helped. It has been an excellent training tool and we'll worth the money

Best metar app I've found! I fly in areas where the weather can change at any moment, and without Metar-Taf I don't know how I would make decisions about whether I should fly or not. I was happy to pay $4 for this outstanding app. If you need a weather app with all the works, Metar-Taf is the way to go, 100%!
